Skeletal muscle MiR-210 expression is associated with mitochondrial function in peripheral artery disease patients.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have demonstrated that circulating microRNA (miR)-210 levels are elevated in peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients. MiR-210 is known to be a negative regulator of mitochondrial respiration; however, the relationship between miR-210 and mitochondrial function has yet to be studied in PAD. We aimed to compare skeletal muscle miR-210 expression of PAD patients to non-PAD controls (CON) and to examine the relationship between miR-210 expression and mitochondrial function. Skeletal muscle biopsies from CON (n = 20), intermittent claudication (IC) patients (n = 20), and critical limb ischemia (CLI) patients (n = 20) were analyzed by high-resolution respirometry to measure mitochondrial respiration of permeabilized fibers. Samples were also analyzed for miR-210 expression by r
